When/Why exactly did his fanbase turn on him? Is his career over?

he's literally a cuck

When they tried to make careers out of aping his style. I think you could find a positive correlation between the popularity of Deadspin and the animosity toward Simmons. He definitely changed as he got more successful but he was the first to do the unabashedly biased/smug pseudo-analysis that runs rampant today.

Unless his wife cheated on him, he is not literally a cuck.

He's a pencil neck faggot that has played a big part in propagating muh advanced stats. Advanced stats are retarded because they're made in a way that allows people to see what they want. They aren't more objective. They aren't super enlightening. They're a form of masterbation

when it turned out the ringer was clickbait junk writing that rubbed it in the face of his dedicated fans that he was primarily interested in getting richer and more famous rather than good analysis and journalism. I still listen every week, but I think a lot of people are upset that he's so transparent in his selling-out

no ones cares about reporters but reporters

when he stopped blogging about late 80's-early 90's pop culture and tried to be a real sports journalist

i liked when he memed about Teen Wolf and Saved By The Bell

When he passed the line of being a relatable guy writing about sports and pop culture and into taking himself too seriously, hanging off celebs' balls, and thinking he was bigger than what he was, deluding himself into thinking anyone gave a shit about what he had to say outside his area of expertise.
